Is your body a graveyard

did you know

a body consumes over 1500 animals in his or her lifetime?

are you going to be one of them?

Problem or not?

Today, i was walking with my friend and we happened to pass a McDonalds. We saw this middle-aged woman licking her ice cream and letting her dog lick it.

Personally, i don't really think it's correct because in a way it is gross. But..then again i see a lot of peole sharing food with their pets and stuff, so is it alright to do so then?

Slash and Burn

Slash and Burn techniques destroy the environment and eco-system. These techniques are found in use in forests such as the Amazon Rainforest. The "slash" is the cutting of the forest before a dry season, and during the dry season it is then burnt. Although this is vey effective in fertilizing the soil and such, animals such as chimpanzees and other animals that are on the brink of extinction. 

Treating Your Pets Right

1) Don't use whistles to train your dogs because the high pitch frequency damages their eardrums
2) Don't use choke chains no matter how hard your dog is to handle. Patience and rewards are the best ways to train a dog properly. Not choking them.
3) Cut their nails with proper equipment because if you use normal scissors they will bleed. And long nails hurt when they walk.
4) Don't cut their whiskers, it decreases their senses, in particular their hunting ability. I know some people do that when entering Dog Shows. But don't do that. 

Circus Tricks

Animals do indeed play a big role in our everyday life. Even the most hardcore animal lovers, me included, would admit to watching a circus of some sort which features animals? I have. And i am ashamed of that.

I am sure that almost all of us have been to a circus, watched it and enjoyed it. There’s a few things we don’t know though. We don’t know what their living conditions are. We don’t know how they are trained. You would not be happy if you were forced to do headstands and sit-ups and being prodded with whips from your trainer as a punishment.

At the end, the animals learn to do the tricks because they’re scared of being punished. They have to endure endless days of training, practicing and hours of performing. At the end of the day, they rest in poor and cramped conditions, but the circus camp can actually afford to improve the animal’s living conditions, they just want to maximize profit and they don’t care if the animals suffer.

They shouldn’t be treated like this! How would you feel if you were them? The animals should be released into their natural habitats instead of being trained for something that normal animals don’t do. Trainers should get it into their head that animals do not naturally ride bicycles or jump through rings of fire.

Dogs and How You Should Treat 'Em

A dog needs freedom! Even you would't want to be taking orders from someone 24/7!

If you have a dog, please try to take these measures (tick off the ones you've done!)

- Allow them playtime
- 4-5 times per day, bring them out for a chance to relief themselves, i'm sure you know how uncomfortable it is to have an exploding bladder with no toilet nearby!
- Feed them before you eat! How would you feel if you were starving and someone came up to you and started eating your favorite dish?
- Teach them house rules. If they misbehave, that is YOUR responsibility.
- Never ever hit them! 

Kitties

Meow! I don't really know THAT much about cats but here is all that i know:

- Keep your cat's litter box clean clean clean! I'm sure you would not like to put your hand into the litter box, just like your cat wouldn't, when it's dirty. Yuck!
- Just the opposite of dogs, cats should be kept indoors, unless you really want to bring them out, then you must have an eye on them 24/7.
- Make sure their collars are the right size (applies for dogs too!) Try to fit 3 fingers within the collar (this is something i learnt from doing charity) Check if often if your pet is young because he/she will be growing!
